Are you ready to stop hiding at home because of acne?


Stop letting acne ruin your life and rediscover joy with personalized 1:1 coaching

A gentle & compassionate coaching program for adult women navigating the emotional toll of acne. Get out of depression, stop hating yourself and your skin, and live a normal life again.


It’s time to get your life back.

You may be thinking

To feel in-control of your skin you need to:

  • Scroll hours on social media searching for a miracle product that will cure your acne once and for all.

  • Obsess over your skin and everything you eat, touch, and use.

  • Check the mirror every 2 minutes to make sure you know exactly what’s going on with your skin at all times.

  • Be super mean to yourself when you’re having a bad skin day.

  • Shout positive mantras in the name of self-love (when it actually makes you feel worse).

But here’s the truth: 

Acne doesn’t have to be this all-consuming nightmare that negatively affects every aspect of your life. It’s about finding a way to neutralize how acne makes you feel, and learning how to release the emotional pain it brings into your life.

When you do this, you get to be the one in control, not acne.

I know this because I’ve been in your shoes…

Back in 2014, when I broke out with severe cystic acne from a bad reaction to coconut oil, my whole world turned upside down.

I fell deep into depression, my confidence plummeted, and my social life completely disappeared.

I was drowning in sadness and self-hatred, and every single day was a struggle for me to get through.

All I wanted more than anything else in the world (besides clear skin) was to just get my life back.

That’s why I created Acne Freedom Accelerator.

I’m on a mission to help adult women with acne - like you - have the care and support you need to navigate the mental and emotional challenges on your journey to clear skin.

Let’s work together if…

  • You wake up feeling sad and depressed every day, and your happiness depends on the state of your skin.

  • You often cancel plans, hide at home, and feel like you can’t be yourself with the people you love because of acne.

  • Acne is taking a toll on you, but nobody around you really “gets it” so you don’t know who to go to for support.

  • You feel trapped in a cycle of self-doubt and endless battles in your head about what you should do. Everything feels like a “lose-lose” situation.

  • You don’t want to keep putting your life on hold, and you want to start living a normal life again without having to stress and worry about your skin 24/7.

If this sounds like you, you’re in the right place.

Imagine waking up every morning with a peace of mind and the confidence to face the world without the limitations of acne holding you back.

How would that change your life?

Acne Freedom Accelerator is where: 

  • You’ll experience the freedom of being in control of your mood, schedule and life without letting acne continue to dictate everything.

  • You’ll dive into effective strategies for how to manage emotions like sadness, insecurity, fear, and anxiety, so that you can get out of the depressive spiral you’re in, and rediscover joy even before your skin clears.

  • You’ll learn how to genuinely accept and love yourself without the pressure to constantly feel happy, positive, and grateful for your acne. (No more toxic positivity!)

  • You’ll cultivate a self-compassion practice, and be on a path towards lasting self-confidence and inner peace.

  • You’ll be equipped with tools to nurture your mental and emotional health throughout your acne journey and beyond, leading to transformations in so many areas of your life.

My 3-step process can help you take back control of your life on your journey to clear skin in just 90 days:

1. Acne mindset mastery

  • Gain awareness of your perception of acne and its profound impact on your life, freeing yourself from its burden by changing the narrative.

  • Recognize and stop negative thought patterns in real-time, allowing you to control your reactions and responses, rather than letting them snowball.

  • Foster self-compassion, define your worth on your own terms, and shift from feeling victimized by acne to embracing a warrior mentality.

2. Emotional wellness blueprint

  • Release the emotional pain tied to acne, finding happiness and joy from within no matter what’s going on with your skin.

  • Break free from the suffocating grip of anxiety and uncertainty, learning to embrace each day with resilience and courage.

  • Develop effective strategies to navigate the emotional turmoil of acne, reclaiming your sense of self and finding peace amidst the chaos.

3. Self-image reinvention

  • Build unshakable confidence and cultivate genuine self-love and acceptance, putting an end to the cycle of self-hatred and negativity.

  • Overcome your fear of judgment and rejection by expanding your capacity to see your own worthiness and lovability without undue pressure or toxic positivity.

  • Step into the world courageously without the need to hide behind filters or makeup.

When you do this program…

You get to be in control of your life. You call the shots, stick to your plans (and actually look forward to going out!), and soak in the freedom to enjoy life just the way you want to regardless of the bumps or scars on your face. 

You can say goodbye to the weight of other people's opinions and judgments. Instead, embrace a newfound confidence free from self-doubt or worry. 

The reflection of yourself becomes a symbol of strength and resilience, not insecurity and self-hatred. 

And as a result, your relationships will thrive, you'll perform better at work, and most importantly, you'll find profound happiness and self-love, in a way that nothing, not even acne, can take away from you.

It’s going to change your life. Truly.

It’s going to wake you up from the acne nightmare you’ve been stuck in. I promise. I’m living proof.

This is a proven approach that works. 

It's not like visiting a dermatologist or aesthetician, who only focuses on treating your skin. Instead, we’ll delve deep into what's happening beneath the surface – your mental and emotional well-being.

You’ll be in a safe space to openly share your feelings and challenges with someone who truly gets it. While your friends and family may struggle to understand what you’re going through, rest assured, because I do.

You don't have to navigate this journey alone anymore.

Together, we’ll work together from the inside out because true healing starts from within. This holistic approach is exactly what you need on your path to recovery – compassionate, empathetic, and focused on guiding you towards reclaiming your life, happiness, and sense of self.

  • “I can honestly sum up my experience as 'mind-altering’. Once you go through the process, you understand the connection between the coaching tools you're learning and how they can be applied to altering how you perceive yourself with acne. Progress won't happen overnight, but in each session—and each day you consciously apply the tools—you will feel yourself shedding layers of the emotional weight that stems from having acne. It's a journey, and Lydia's there to gently guide you through the process and toward self acceptance.”

    — Jordanne H.

  • Both therapy and life coaching can be powerful tools for self-development, helping you through some of the most challenging obstacles in your life. While therapists focus on the past and try to answer the question, “Why?”, life coaches focus on the future and dive into the question of “How?”

    Therapists focus on helping you heal from past traumas while life coaches take your current state as a neutral starting point, helping you take control of your life and create the future you desire.
